## What is Homelab Rack Planner?

Plan your homelab rack before you spend a single euro on new gear.

Homelab Rack Planner lets you drag real NAS boxes, switches, mini PCs and more — in their actual U height — onto a virtual 19" rack, just like the real thing. Rearrange your layout, try out a new piece of gear before you buy it, and see instantly whether your circuit and your rack's rated load can actually handle it.

WHY THIS APP
Most rack planning happens in a spreadsheet, on paper, or in a browser tab built for data-center professionals. Homelab Rack Planner is built specifically for the homelab and self-hosting community — a curated catalog of the gear people actually run at home, not generic 1U placeholders.

FEATURES
• Drag-and-drop rack-mount gear onto a U-snapped column — no gaps, no overlaps
• Live power budget: see exactly how much of your circuit/UPS capacity you're using
• Live weight budget: track total load against your rack's rated capacity
• Off-rack gear list for desktop NAS boxes and mini PCs that need a shelf, not rack ears
• A curated catalog of well-known homelab gear from major manufacturers, with real U height, power draw and weight
• Can't find something? Add your own in seconds
• Multiple racks, so you can plan your current setup and your next upgrade side by side
• Export your rack layout as an image to share or save

PRO
Unlock unlimited racks and clean, watermark-free exports with a single one-time purchase — no subscription, ever.

Whether you're planning your very first 6U closet rack or figuring out if that new NAS will fit (and fit your power budget) in a rack that's already full, Homelab Rack Planner takes the guesswork out of growing your homelab.
